WW2 Canadian Army CANADA Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair British Made (2)

This item is a pair of World War II-era Canadian Army shoulder titles bearing the word “CANADA.” Intended for wear on the upper sleeves of military uniforms, these insignia were used by Canadian servicemen to denote national identity within the Commonwealth forces. The pair offered here is British made, a common practice during the period to supply the Canadian Army with uniform accoutrements due to proximity and existing production facilities in the United Kingdom. Each title is constructed from cloth, with red embroidery on a khaki background, following the regulations for uniform insignia worn overseas. Such items played a key role in distinguishing Canadian personnel from other units in multi-national operations. Shoulder titles like these were typically sewn directly onto battle dress or service dress jackets and are an emblematic artifact of Canada’s contributions to Allied forces during the Second World War. This pair is representative of original insignia issued between 1939 and 1945.
